Pastor’s Corner
A very poignant Christian Poem by author: C.T. Studd.
“Only One Life”
Pastor Brad writes:
“For us as Christians, I find this poem very poignant and moving! This poem should strike a cord in our hearts to take inventory as to how we “Live our Lives as Christians!” Let us find our examples from the Bible!”
Romans 12:1
“Therefore, I urge you, brothers and sisters, in view of God’s mercy, to offer your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and pleasing to God—this is your true and proper worship.”
Poem: “Only One Life!”
By Author C.T. Studd
“It matters so little how much you may own
The places you’ve been or the people you’ve known
For it all comes to nothing when place at His feet
It’s nothing for Jesus, just memories to keep
You may take all the treasures from far away land
And take all the riches you can hold in your hand
And take all the pleasures your money can buy
But what will you have when it’s your time to die
Only one life so soon it will pass
Only what’s done for Christ will last
Only one chance to do His will
So give to Jesus all your days,
it’s the only life that pays
When you recall you have but one life
The days pass so swiftly, the months come and go
The years melt away like a new fallen snow
Spring turns to summer, and summer to fall
Autumn brings winter, and death comes to call”
